My b2evolution Version: 3.3.1

Hi All,
I've just joined the b2evo club!!. I'm owning the website called benhour.com I was trying to set up my windows live writer (WLW) so I can use desktop blogging. i did not have any success. I will try to explain every steps that I took:
1- on first WLW screen I chooses : Other blog service
2- on second screen gave it my host adders : www.benhour.com (since i installed b2evo on the root directory
then my user name and pass word for my blog (blog1 on evo )
3- it took me to third screen which asks for blog provider and remote URL

here is the place that I've faced problem.
Which one is blog provider I can't see b2evo? I tried to use word press and use the remote address of www.benhour.com/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php for that but it did not work. It gave me error message indicating 406 not acceptable.
Does anyone have an idea?

I don't use Windows and back when I did, I never tried Windows Live Writer, so I can only guess which options are available: Try selecting either "MetaWeblog" or "Blogger".

Hi Tblue,

Sorry for delay and tanks for the answer, I tried both Blogger and Metaweblog and I was not successful.
When I used Metaweblog and Blogger with the remote posting URL of www.benhour.com/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php , I got this error
" An error occurred while attempting to connect to your blog: Invalid URI: the format of the URI could not be determined. you must correct this error before proceeding"

What other application do you recomending for desktop blogging?

Thanks,

P.S. I Upgraded my blog to 3.3.2 ( Thanks for that)

Hi Benhour,

When I used Metaweblog and Blogger with the remote posting URL of www.benhour.com/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php , I got this error
" An error occurred while attempting to connect to your blog: Invalid URI: the format of the URI could not be determined. you must correct this error before proceeding"

Try entering http://www.benhour.com/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php (with the "http://"!).

What other application do you recomending for desktop blogging?

I don't make use of desktop blogging, but I played with [url=http://qtm.blogistan.co.uk/]qtm[/url] once (while improving the XML-RPC API) and it worked.

hi ben

I also propblemas with "windows writer". But I will say that does not work very well with "windows writer". so if you can assure is that only asks username, password and address of the blog, nothing more.

with the 2.x version worked better now with the 3.x version gives problems. "windows writer" does not support b2evolution but I think there way to configure, no how. but if I find out I communicate in this forum
